Some other development boards come with a CP2102 serial controller, including NodeMCU and a Doodle Bot I bought. dev/cu.usbserial or /dev/cu.usbserial-DQ008BU0). Just connect your development board and look for a device in the /dev/ directory (e.g. Since this driver is preinstalled on macOS Maverick and higher, it may just work out of the box.

The Prolific driver version 1.4.0 created a new device socket under Mac OS X, /dev/cu.usbserial.ДЇor most development boards (such as the Arduino or Pycom), you most likely need the USB FTDI driver.

These drivers are often called Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers. The driver you need depends on the chipset you are communication with. If you create your own UTP cables, you can easily make one yourself. As with the null modem cable, beware that you might need a cross-over UTP cable. There are cables or adapters that plug into a regular UTP cable. In case your serial port is a RJ45 connector (which may be the case on network hardware), you also need a DB-9 to RJ-45 convertor. If it is about 1 centimeter long, the cabling is 'straight' and it will not work as a serial cable (these straight connectors are used to extend old VGA cables). If the connector is about 4 centimeter long, this is probably the case. You can also buy a female-to-female DB9 connector, but make sure that the internal wiring is cross-over like is the case with a null modem. The USB-to-serial cable, as well as the network device will have a DB9-male connector. A null modem cable is a cable with DB9-female connectors on both ends. Make sure to also purchase a null modem cable, or a female-to-female DB9 connector. The Prolific PL-2303 is a very common controller, and one I recommend. Like mine, the actual conversion from USB to serial is done by a Prolific PL-2303 USB to Serial Bridge Controller buried in the connector. I bought a Icidu C-707607 USB to Serial cable. In case the serial port is a DB-9 connector or RJ45 connector, you need a USB-to-serial adapter. Top right: two different methods to convert a DB-9 to a RJ45 connector.

Set it to connect via Serial Console port COM1 (or whichever COM your serial cable is on, COM1 will almost always be it.The cables I use for a console. Once you've got TeraTerm up and running and your cable connected, you're going to have to check the settings in TeraTerm.

You need to get a null modem serial cable (available pretty much anywhere for pretty cheap,) and connect another computer (linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD or Microsoft Windows,) and connect it to your server with the serial cable (serial-to-serial there are usb-to-serial cables around if your 'working' computer doesn't have a serial connection.) Once you've done that, use a terminal application that supports the VT100 terminal emulation - on MS Windows, I prefer TeraTerm, but you can use Windows' built-in HyperTerm from Mac OS X you can use the ZTerm application.

a sparc machine that will be your server.

To install FreeBSD on a Sparc, you will need: For starters, you can't use a Sun keyboard, so you must install via serial console. FreeBSD installation on a Sparc machine can be a frustrating thing for the beginner.
